Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken

Chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes – baked to absolute crisp-tender cheesy perfection!

I realized that I have a ton of chicken thigh recipes, a few chicken breast recipes, and a couple of one pan chicken recipes but none that are stuffed!

The craziness, right?

So to bring that madness to an end, I have the cheesiest stuffed chicken recipe for you today (along with a fabulous giveaway below), packed with fresh baby spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, and then coated with breadcrumbs for that extra crunch.

Now I did use Panko for the first time around, but after testing this out, Italian breadcrumbs definitely takes the win for a baked chicken recipe.

Yes, this is completely baked from start to finish, and it’s just so stinking easy to whip up.

Simply butterfly your chicken, stuff, coat and place in the oven. Prep time is in less than 15 minutes!
